BODY WISDOM

“Everything you need to know is within you. Listen. Feel. 
Trust the body’s wisdom.”
_Dane Millman

Our bodies are amazing complex ecosystems—self-organising, intuitive, and deeply intelligent. Without needing our instruction, they breathe, balance, digest, and repair. Beneath the surface of our awareness, a beautiful somatic wisdom pulses, moving us toward life, protection, and wholeness.

When we dance, especially in free and spontaneous ways, we tap into this somatic knowing. Movement becomes a language of the unconscious—guiding us not just to express, but to listen. At times our dance is filled with exuberance and motion – and at times a subtle shift into slowness or even a pause. Our practice as dancers is to listen to both the shouts and the whispers.

In a world so often governed by thought, dance invites us to listen, to feel, and more importantly to allow. In these spaces our dances arise not out of logic but from the grace of embodied experience. Trust your body—it remembers what your mind forgets.

_Christos Daskalakos
